Chickapea

Chickapea produces high-protein pasta made from just two ingredients—chickpeas and yellow peas—offering a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat pasta with classic taste and texture. The product line includes Protein Pasta varieties (Shells, Penne, Spirals, Spaghetti, Elbows) and One Pot Pasta Meals (Creamy Garlic, Jalapeño Cheddar, Tomato Curry, Pepper & Parm), providing convenient meal solutions with significantly higher protein and fiber content than conventional pasta. Chickapea's pasta is gluten-free, plant-based, and made with clean-label ingredients, targeting health-conscious consumers seeking better-for-you carb options without sacrificing taste. The brand is available through retail stores across North America and direct-to-consumer online sales with free US shipping. Chickapea positions itself as "carbs reimagined," combining the comfort of pasta with the nutritional benefits of legumes, and provides an extensive recipe library to help consumers incorporate the product into diverse cuisines. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Canada, the company has raised approximately $10.5 million at the Series C stage from investors including InvestEco, Export Development Canada, District Ventures Capital, AGT Foods, FCC, and the Ontario Centre of Innovation.
